“I live in Chicago and work in Des Plaines. And this gas station has the cheapest gas anywhere that I've been to. And they also have everything you need in their convenience store including Subway. Highly recommend it.”
1585 Rand Rd, Des Plaines IL 60016
“I live very close so I come here a lot. Never had any issues with gas pumps or anything else. They're open very late and all the guys that work here are cool. Best music out of any gas station I've been to.”

“I absolutely love Whole Foods! There’s a great variety of fresh and/or organic vegetables and fruit to choose from. Whole Foods is the best store to buy fresh caught fish, grass fed and finished meat.”

“Mukesh the pharmacist was very helpful!!! Went to a different Walgreens pharmacy and they didn’t even bother trying to find the reason why my health insurance was going through. He took his time and was able to get my insurance in. Even made sure I understood when to get my next vaccination dose!”

“Not a bad gas station and convenience store combo. Not much parking available. You have to get creative. The store is not unlike most gas station convenience stores: Limited selection of basic items at an incredibly high mark-up. The store itself is fairly clean, and the staff is not super unfriendly like you tend to see at gas station convenience stores. In general, it isn't bad if you're OK with paying $6+ for a bag of chips and ~$3 for a 20-ounce Coke Zero.”
1378 Miner St, Des Plaines IL 60016
“Helpful and knowledgeable staff, convenient and quick location for COVID vaccine . . . Prices on non-pharmacy items seem higher than other stores, but sales and discounts often make this location worth a stop. Nearby downtown Des Plaines stores, businesses, and restaurants also offer quick-stop convenience for walkers, train commuters, and local residents.”
8995 Potter Rd, Des Plaines IL 60016
“I’ve been coming here for 13+ years and the selection is always great and all the employees have great customer service. Efficiency is ? hours are very convenient. Definitely recommend for anyone to come by!!!”
21 Rand Road Walgreens, Des Plaines IL 60016
“This Walgreens was neat, clean, and there wasn’t any waiting at the pharmacy line. Because there was no line. The pharmacist and the technicians were wonderful in helping me get my scripts together.”
1858 East Oakton Street, Des Plaines IL 60018
“Good selections, pretty clean location. Friendly staff. Busy Rx but always friendly and efficient. This place gets a bad rep but I have never had an issue. I have long waits at the pharmacy but they always treat me with respect, take their time, get it right, and I leave on a good note!”
885 E Touhy Ave, Des Plaines IL 60018
“Speedway in Rosemont, Illinois is a great place to get gas and catch some brazier food or snacks. They've got a full selection of carbonated drinks, energy and electrolyte drinks too. All the major brands & a few unique & hard to find items. The service is fast and friendly, and they go the extra mile for customers. I'd highly recommend them for their prices (competitive) and friendly, professional, nice and efficient staff. They're right on the main streets near the freeway and entertainment/night spots. I needed gas to get back home- I'm from over 150 miles away & came to hear and SEE the Windy City Tour featuring Chicago & Styx. It's nice when you're far from home & you can find essential services to get you safely back home.”
1199 Elmhurst Road, Des Plaines IL 60016
“I love this place. It's clean, the staff is very friendly especially night staff. They've given my husband free donuts and pastries with coffee and a soda when we fell on hard times. I tried to repay them but they wouldn't take it. Very good place to get gas, snacks, drinks, cigarettes, coffee etc. Anything you may need from gas station and even some stuff you might have not thought you did need you'll find here. Thank you to the staff for all you do and there not another gas station I'd want to go to ⛽?✌??”

“Raj noticed my family was in a tough place. We were buying milk, bread, and drinks from 7/11 for weeks. When he noticed, he gave us discounts and always brightened our mood even on the worst days. Raj you're the best.”
1950 E Touhy Ave, Des Plaines IL 60018
“One of the best 7/11 out here! Everyone here who gave a review has only been here once. This is by far the best customer service and nicest people working here. They always have anything you need if you just ask nicely. Taquitos are always there when you need them nice and they are always hot too!!! Would recommend coming here 5/5, I’m a regular I should know ???”
1585 Rand Rd, Des Plaines IL 60016
“Here is 1 gas Station with music ? ? that gets you going! Always a jam every fill up. Prices are lower than average. And the convenience store 7/11 has most of what you can want”
586 E Oakton St, Des Plaines IL 60018
“Well, I never thought I'd write a review for a convenience store, especially since I so seldom visit them, but this 7-11 really impressed me. (Oh, that sounds so ridiculous.) Aside from the usual convenience store high prices, I liked everything about my recent experience here. They had the only item I wanted (unsweetened iced tea) in the cooler, there was still some fruit on the shelf despite the late hour, and everything was very clean. I saw no sticky puddle under the slurpee machine, no trail of crumbs from the donut case, and no wads of gum stuck to the counter. Instead of the stereotypically rude convenience store staff, the clerk asked me if I needed help with the door (probably because I am massively pregnant). I didn't, but it was so nice that he asked! So much better than the typical, "Don't let the door hit you on your way out, thanks for wasting my time," inflection so common in these places. If you're going to hit up a convenience store, this is a pretty good one to try. They seem to keep the shelves stocked, clean the place regularly, and value customer service.”

“I mean I didn’t think anything bad about this location until I went into the bathroom. The rest of the store is very well organized and tidy. It’s the top of the hand dryer that gave me a bad taste - not quite sure what that’s about.”
